Jason Holder Wife, Height, Age, Bowling Stats, IPL, Teams

Jason Holder is one of the best all rounders in the world at the moment. He is also the glue that has kept West Indies cricket fledgeling together in the past few years.

The fastest West Indian to complete the double of 100 ODI wickets and 1,000 runs, Holder was West Indies’ leading wicket-taker in the 2010 U-19 World Cup in New Zealand. With the ability to be a hit the deck bowler with prodigious bounce and a handy lower-order batsman down the order, Holder made his ODI debut against Australia in 2013 and then a year later his Test debut against the Kiwis.

After senior players backed out of the West Indian squad following their tussle with the WICB, Holder was handed over the captaincy in all formats of the game. His first real success as skipper came last year when the Windies surprised themselves in chasing down a record 322 at Headingly.

As a bowler, Holder seemed to have come into his own in 2018. In the 2018 West Indian home season, Holder racked up 28 wickets in five Test matches at an average of 12 with three five-wicket hauls.

• Holder was the highest wicket-taker (13) for the West Indies in the 2010 U-19 World Cup.
